WILMA FARMERS, GLIB.

The wilma Farmers Club met on Goth June, at
Samuel Bevard's. Tho committee to inspect the
firm reported that they foundall growing crops in
good condition, one field of tomatoes very good
with the balance looking well. A field of corn
very promising. They noticed about 400 yards of
new set hedge fence, also preparation for in
creasing the size of the canning house by a build
ing Is by 20 feet, so as to do a more extensive
business
The discussion for the evening was begun by
the reading of an article on Holstein cattle,
claiming that their milk Is not rich as that of
the Jerseys. One OF the members stated that a
Holstein cow of his gave more milk and the milk
was richer and made better butter than
Jersey COW he had. The club appears to be very
well satisfied with their purchase of Holstein
bull last winter believing that they combine
both the dairy and beef qualities.
Two other articles were read, one on the de-
struction of birds for their pumage, the other on
insects and their damage to the agricultural in
terests. The substance OF the discussion on these
two subjects was that all insectiyerous birds
should be protected by law. The crow is abused
considerably on account of his fondness for
young poultry and eggs, and pulling up corn and
the English sparrow has no friend. They have
become so numerous and destructive in granaries
and barns that general war of determination
will have to be declared against them. Two of
the members had begun the war by shooting all
that they found on their farms. The next meet
ing will be held at Frank c. Norris on August
I'd. TIL.

Friday Morning, IuIy 20, 1887.
The Democratic Primaries To- M orrow.

The primary election tomorrow is of more
than usual importance, because of the num-
Der and character of the offices 10 be filled,
aud more especially for the reason that
nomination is almost certain TO be equivalent
to an election, the Republican party being In
disorganized condition and the new Pro-
hibition party being yet in its infancy.
1t is therefore the duty of every Democrat
TO go TO the polls and weigh well the vote he
casts. Fortunately, the names presented are
generally those of men of good character and
Of fitness for the offices for which they offer
Themselves
The campaign has been in the main fairly
conducted The candidates have not forgot
ten that they are gentlemen and as general
thing have not only refrained from personal
abuse, but have been marked in their cour-
tesy TO each other when they have met. We
regret to say that their warm supporters
have not, in all cases, shown as much kind
feeling. Many things have been said which
were better left unsaid, and much election.
eering of n questionable character has been
resorted TO. Slanderous reports with regard
to certain candidates have been started which
could be traced to no responsible source, and
these have been dwelt upon with indignation
by the friends of the candidate thus said TO-
he unjusty assailed, apparently for the very
purpose of intensifying the feeling of his sup
porters and creating sympathy in his be-
half
Our advice TO every Democrat tomorrow
is to keep cool. Do not forget that every
man named on the long ticket is Democrat
and that every unjustifable personal attack
upon his character is calculated to weaken
the ticket of your party If he should be nomi-
mated. You are not fighting political enc
mics but those of your own party faith, and
your friend, if nominated, may need their
support to elect him. Keep cool, we say again
and determine from the beginning that as a
Democrat you will give I'M earnest, hearty
support to every candidate who may be
nominated Tomorrow

Robbery OF A SToRE.-The store OF Messrs.
Rouse d Hanna, in Delta, was robbed, on
Monday night, of SIG and about SIS worth of
store goods. The burglars obtained access
by pricing open back cellar door and Sc.
cured the money by breaking open the cash
drawer. They tossed a quantity of clothing
about the store, and probably carried away
some of it. Before going out they drew a
quantity of coal oil in a gallon molasses
measure and set fire TO II. 1t burned long
enough to melt the spout and the handle off of
the can, when they extinguished the flames by
throwing some clothing over the top of the
measure. They used bit which they obtained
by breaking into j. W. stanley's shop to break
open the window.

Ex-senator Aliens Withdrawal from
the Republican Party.

The manly, straightforward letter of Hon. E.
NJ Allen in your last issue deserves special no.
tice and earnest thought 1t is said that "the
dead and fools never change their minds" Is it
men are willing to leave the dead past and look
ing into the present and the promising future
around them to a noble and useful citizenship /?
We believe there is but little difference between
the two great political parties to-day. As Mr.
Allen truthfuly says, the suppression of slavery
Is the brightest gem In the crown of Republican
ism. The good men don't all belong to one party,
to one church, or to any one society or organiza-
ton. Any one who has honestly watched the
efforts.of the present occupant of the Preside en-
tial Chair to put aside prejudice and to act with
honesty, equity and justice to the whole people,
must be impressed with the rare qualities of the
Executive. Little do tho majority of us know
what 1t costs to do the right in such trying po-
sition. May God be his strength. and may all
good men be honest enough to hold up the hands
Of one whom we implicitly believe is trying to do
his whole duty. OsCEoLA.
